Here's the third installment (chapters 9-10) of the podcast of my second novel Eastern Standard Tribe , a novel of political intrigue among high-tech, sleep-deprived management consultants. This is my most ambitious podcasting project to date -- I figure it'll take 4-6 months to complete. I’ve found a half-brick that was being used to hold down the tar paper around an exhaust-chimney. I should’ve used that to hold the door open, but it’s way the hell the other side of the roof, and I’d...

It's the conclusion of the triad of stories comprised by Shadow of the Mothaship and Home Again, Home Again , about the Canadian response to the invasion of benevolent Scientologist aliens.

Truncat is an indirect sequel to my first novel, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom . Truncat is a parable about warez groups and Napster, about generation war and the trouble with power-laws. In Truncat, the reputation-based Bitchun Society is stagnating, and the birth rate has dropped off so far that only a million kids are alive on the whole planet. These kids have hacked the consciousness-backup system and illicitly copy and load the backups of their elders, treating these backups as a kind...
